Pam Larter has been living the the Bancroft Park neighborhood for decades, but what happened last week, she says is a first- armed, masked men looking for unlocked cars in her neighborhood.

"If this happened here these people did this in other neighborhoods also," said Pam Larter, president of the Bancroft Park Civic Association.

"We know of four vehicles, but a lot of time people don't want to tell you that they left their car unlocked," Larter said.

Police say the burglaries happened Jan. 6- after midnight. Surveillance video shows a white SUV pulling up. One man gets out and police say he was carrying a gun. The suspect got into Larter's vehicle and took loose change and a key found inside.

Larter believes there were other cars involved. In fact, she sent an email alert to her neighborhood association warning them of the crime, only to find out others had been victims as well.

"I'm in the 5800 block. It started in the 4800 block. One neighbor saw them coming down, pulling on the doors," she said.

Two years ago, the neighborhood got another set of eyes to watch the streets.
